Beginner LabVIEW Tasks


I am on a FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition) team, and we plan on using LabVIEW to program our robot. I was wondering if anyone had any basic LabVIEW tasks that we could use to learn LabVIEW before we begin the actual programming of our robot?

EDIT: Most of the programmers have at least a basic understanding of programming, and are coming from another language.


Solution

  • I believe the best thing would be to go through the getting started tutorial of LabVIEW: http://digital.ni.com/manuals.nsf/websearch/EC6EF8DE9CB98742862576F7006B0E1E

    The reason I say that is because they contain exercises between every lesson, and you could attempt to do that without having a look at the solution.

    Also, the following site has the 3-hour and 6-hour course on LabVIEW which could be approached in the same way: http://www.ni.com/academic/labview_training/

    Also, if you need guidance for that particular project, I don't mind getting involved to mentor your team on it. You could provide me with the contact details of your teacher/professor and I can get in touch with them.
